Mitchell Trubisky must do these 3 things to beat Packers

Finish drives with an exclamation
Whether it be a turnover or risking a missed field goal, the Bears cannot afford to leave points on the field against Aaron Rodgers. I’m sure they remember Week 1 very well — a measly three points.
The Bears must not only sustain drives to keep their defense fresh, but finish them. Eddy Pineiro has been spotty this year, and with Trubisky coming on hot the last few weeks, this offense has to continue to put six on the board whenever they have the chance.
Inside the red zone, Trubisky has been one of the worst quarterbacks in all of football this year.
With the playoffs still a mathematical possibility, and in such a crucial game on the road against a bitter rival, it would be a huge statement if Trubisky could execute inside the 20. Folks over at NFL Network even called it a potentially “career-defining” win if Trubisky could lead the Bears to a victory on Sunday.
It all hinges on finishing drives. If the Bears go three-and-out more often than not, the rest of the team suffers immensely. Trubisky must sustain drives and keep Rodgers off the field as much as possible, while finishing them with touchdowns.
